just called the SA in klang. they said arriving in august. got 2 models CKD and CBU. prices are rm66k for the CKD and rm76k for the CBU. both are 1.6 models.
*
if the CKD offer the same specs as the CBU, then i will go for the RM66k drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif
coz i heard Kia CKD model is actually disassemble the bonnets&doors, send it here then reassemble back. They can claim that as CKD model and sell cheaper, it still the same quality with CBU model.

Manage to see a sx model in one of the showroom. Everything is quite ok, the boot is really a "wow...."

One thing i found is when i open the door , u can actually see near to the rubber lining area there is a welding joint(is poping up like a small pimple) rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

I hope that only happen to 1 particular unit only and not all units.

Well, today is the big launching day and yet........didn't have any discount or free gift or anything..... sad.gif

for 1st 200 booking, you will get below gifts:

-  Forte Cap
- Forte Backpack
- calendar (i think is world cup related)
- forte key chain

but all this is while stock last.... usually all this SA will keep aside and then tell u only for 1st 200 and you are after 200...so no more this gift.... vmad.gif

To me, those are not "gift". I'm actually thinking of maybe petrol voucher, service voucher, kia emblem brows.gif etc.

Keychain??? Calender ?? Cap?? rclxub.gif rclxub.gif rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

From what i see in the pics at paultan's site, it seems that all the pics were taken at the launch event the pavilion.[attachmentid=1323786]

There's the pic of the centre stack of the 1.6. Note the A pillar's shadow slanting across the front passengers dashboard. And the right spoke of the steering wheel has no buttons.
[attachmentid=1323787]

Then there's the pic of the rear leather seats of red 2.0 with of two asians in the front seats. Again. a glimpse of slanting A pillar shadow over the dashboards at the far left.
[attachmentid=1323788]

From the multiple pics, can assume there were 2-3 main spotlights onto the showroom stage.

And then there's the pic of the steering wheel with leather seats (must be the 2.0)... again can see the similar slanting shadow of the A pillar across the front passenger dashboard. Darker shadow and slants more downwards compared to the first pic as the car should be closer to the left spotlight.

[attachmentid=1323789]

Lo and behold ... there are BUTTONS ON THE RIGHT STEERING SPOKE... CRUISE CONTROL?????? As seen on few videos on youtube. Couldn't be the bluetooth button coz it would be on the middle lower styeering spooke.

I 100% recall that the model 1.6 SX I went to see yesterday had no buttons on the right steering spoke.. Even had a picture of it in my handphone.

Is this particular trim brought in just for the launch or is NAZA keeping quiet 'bout this until all the 1.6 EX and 1.6 SX stock are sold out. Then the tell you the 2.0 extras are not just the extra 30hp, leather seats, motodriven streering ... but also cruise control. Just have to wait and see next year.

No wonder potential civic/mazda 3 buyers are  having 2nd thoughts.


Added on November 26, 2009, 1:35 amoh ya .. there's also the small round green ?sticker on the centre of the KIA emblem  on both the 1.6 and 2.0 steering as seen in the pics above.

I can only assume the the pic of the steering wheel with the cruise button control are taken at the pavilion launc.

Anybody been to the event can confirm this?

if you check the website www.forte.my
The pic show in the gallery, the steering is with button on the right. But not sure what kind of button is it.
